Daniel Alfredsson addressed the media and Ottawa hockey fans Thursday to discuss his departure from the Senators after 17 seasons.

Alfredsson said he intended to re-sign with the Senators but negotiations “went nowhere.” Many are hitting Twitter with their reaction to this revelation. A lot of Senators fans are expressing their anger against the former hero and owner Eugene Melnyk.

And in a shocker as reported by James Gordon of the Ottawa Citizen, Alfredsson’s deal with the Senators may be held in contempt by the NHL due to cap circumvention.
